Sony Press Conference (1,739 views)

[pichubro]

Already pre-ordered it so I'm gonna pick it up on the first day of release.

[Mario the black knight]

Sweeeeeeeet!

You gotta tell me how it is. I'm interested in hearing how single player is compared to AC II

I'm almost done that now. I have 3 non-story Trophies left

[pichubro]

I still need to find all those feathers.

[Mario the black knight]

I'm almost half way there, one more to 50, which gets me the elusive 22nd weapon

[Mario the black knight]

Wow

The ending of Assassin's Creed II is so creepy

Like how she breaks the 4th wall and looks right at the camera and speaks directly to you and stuff. It's crazy that Desmond is the Prophet, how it ties the story together directly between Ezio and Desmond.

And the story of the Auditore Crypt is kinda sad, and explains a lot, like how the Codex got divided and stored in chests the way it did, and how the Auditore family actually got so rich and stuff, and how Altiar and Ezio are related.

I'd rate this game pretty high on my list, top 50 probably, but it did have it's flaws, like glitcheyness was a small issue. The length was OK, for what the quests were and stuff. The real gripe I have is Ezio thinks he's smarter than you when it comes to Parkour. I never died once in this game in battle, any time I ever died it was because of a Parkour glitch, where Ezio decides jumping off a cliff or a building to his certain death is far more efficient than taking the safe and practical route. I died 3 times in rome because He decided to jump off the wall instead of climb it. It was frustrating when he did these things, but when it worked, the Parkour system was a lot of fun.

[pichubro]

Yeah, the ending was creepy, and unexpected. I kinda liked punching out the Pope though.

And yeah, the parkour system could go haywire every once in a while, when Ezio believes that he is invincible until gravity proves him wrong.

[Mario the black knight]

Yeah, Ha ha ha, that was pretty ridiculous. But yeah, that woman was like, creepy, I wonder if they'll build on those people in the next game or in brotherhood. I'm interested in knowing more about that, and about Desmond and stuff.

Yeah, it makes me so angry, and it makes me angrier when he doesn't die, because he deserves to in those situations just so he knows whose boss, also, I hate being stuck in places where I have to find my way out of.

[pichubro]

Well, I haven't finished Brotherhood yet, but they only mentioned the creepy woman at the beginning of the game. Brotherhood is really more about running around Rome and realizing how fun the crossbow is.

They didn't really change the parkour system in Brotherhood, though Ezio doesn't fall off the buildings quite as often. And Rome is really huge, though it gets boring being in the same city the whole game.

[Mario the black knight]

Hmm, wow, that kinda makes it a little less good seeming, although of they made it big enough, it would be interesting. Overall I don't think it will match up to AC2 though

Also, I've been playing around with PS Home lately, kinda fun actually, like playing Pool, arcade games, and chess. And I got to break into the Assassin's hideout, and Abstergo as well. It just sucks that you have to buy almost everything else. It's fun though.

[pichubro]

Yeah, it's big. But you can literally "warp" to different points of the city by fixing up the underground tunnel system, so it can seem smaller as the game wears on.

I tried PS Home before and didn't really do much with it. I don't really see the true appeal. I remember people saying that during E3, you could walk around virtual E3 using PS Home, but all you could do was see who was presenting and a few of the games they mentioned. If you were able to play game demos like you actually could do at E3, then that would be truly awesome.

[Mario the black knight]

What, does Leonardo make you a subway car?

I mean there isn't a ton to do, but I like the little minigames, I didn't like it when I first saw it either, but then I whooped someones ass in Chess, and watched a Storm Trooper and Santa play each other, and the Echochrome and Ice Breaker arcade games are fun, plus it's a game everyone I know can all play with each other for free. I've been looking for more games lately though, so I have more to do. I want a chess board for my house. And if I had the money to blow, I'd get a nicer house and better clothes. My Street Fighter T-shirt is good enough though for now. I know theres Poker, and I heard there are other games, but I'm still looking for them. Chess and Pool are good enough for me right now though.

[Mario the black knight]

So I played real Sonic 4 today. It has things I like, and things I don't like so much. I like the level designs, a lot of fun, with tons of old school charm, with new elements to keep it fresh. The format for level completion sucks though, where you can play in any order you want. It needs to be liniar order. The Chaos Emerald levels are great. Overall It's alright, but could be better, it's short though, rather short. I hope they build on it for episode 2.

Also, I found out that Playstation Home has voice chat features. Also, I found out I have a Bluetooth, only after someone gave it to me today though, it's ghetto though, broken almost completely, it works though.

[pichubro]

I've never been that big of a fan of Sonic. I've played the very first Sonic game for a bit though.

Cool! That means we'll be able to talk to each. It's actually very amusing to have a mic on while playing Brotherhood because if both you and your target has a mic, you can (s)talk to each other. That's actually how I made a friend online, because we played Wanted mode for hours together.

"Hyper, are you chasing me again? "
"... No." *jumps him from a rooftop* :3

Also, the very first night Brotherhood came out, I was a bit more skilled than most people because they didn't know how to be sneaky I guess. And I heard two people with a mics having a conversation during the results screen saying: "Man, HyperFerret's good." and stuff like that. And then in the next match they would celebrate every time they killed me because there's a feature where you can talk to your target right after you killed them. I was laughing so hard when I kept beating them in points though. Hahaha

[Mario the black knight]

The first game I ever played was Sonic 1. I've always had a connection to sonic because it was what I learned my skills with. I've owned every Sonic game for Genesis and PS2 as well, with the Mega Collection. I was even Sonic for halloween when I was in 2nd Grade. It was a big detailed rig, it took my mom like 2 weeks to make.

AWESOME! I didn't think of that! We can stratagise! I guess theres no private chat in a game though, since Di Vinci didn't quite have walkie talkies figured out yet.

Ha ha ha, thats pretty amazing.

HA HA HA, yeah, I love being that person. I do that a lot in Fat Princess these days, because anyone who sees me instantly tries to kill me first, even when I'm playing as an Engineer and just collecting ore or something, they'll just swarm on me 4 on 1.

I hope I have Brotherhood soon now!

[pichubro]

Hahahaha, I would love to see you dressed up as Sonic.

Technically, no. You can't have conversations during a match. That is, unless you use that chat thingy above your friend list. I believe if we make a chat room with that, we'll be able to talk to each other no matter what we're playing, as long as we're both online. At least, that's how it works on Xbox Live.

... Just looked it up. You CAN have cross game voice chats, but only if one of the people in the chat is a PS Plus member and ONLY if they invite you. Bollocks.

[Mario the black knight]

H A HA HA HA HA, That rig would not fit me today, it was complex though, full sized spikes, a custom fitted felt jumpsuit with the yellow belly, a headband with Sonic's eyes on it, and red socks over my shoes with a strip of white tape over them. And big white gloves with 3 fingers (this was 1996 sonic, pre ultra-real 3D sonic)

Damn, only during between games? And I tried the chat function today, only works strictly for chat. How were people talking to you while you were playing then?

Wait, you can only do cross game chat with PS Plus? Thats a slippery slope like I thought. It better become free soon. I hate when features are restricted.

Also, saw new info on PSP2 and the Playstation Phone, very interesting.

[pichubro]

You can only talk before the match starts, when people are choosing their character and special moves and such, and after the match is over. When you kill a target, you get around a 3 second interval where the your mic and your purser's mic are turned on, if you have a mic at all. And like I said eariler, if a person is chasing another person with a mic, they can hear each other.

Yeah, it's only recently been added though so we'll see.

Playstation... phone?

[Mario the black knight]

Ohhhhh, interesting, thats not so bad I guess, I just wish it was like a proximity thing, like if your standing right next to a teammate, they can hear you too. That would have been nice.

Yeah, I hope it's like a thing where they get to try it first, then we all get it, like a lot of promotions these days.

Oh yeah! It's a Sony Erricson design, it runs on Android 3.0 and instead of a slide out keyboard, it has a slide out controller with all the basic buttons, no analog sticks though. I just hope it runs like a DS and allows usage of touchscreen, so games can have like Okami style things where the buttons control the character, and one can use the touchscreen to do spells and stuff. It looks pretty interesting, but I have a feeling it has a chance of being very hit or miss. it'll either work out well with a very different experence and have a chance of sticking it to iPhone, or it will flop like Ngage.

[pichubro]

Oh, I've never played Alliance mode. I was talking about the free-for-all Wanted mode. I won't play Alliance until we can be a team. The chat might be different in that mode for all I know.

Sounds interesting. I'll have to look it up sometime.

[Mario the black knight]

Ohhh. Interesting. Thats nice though :nigga: We'll be unstopable! I need to hurry even more now! For your sake! We'll find out though

Yeah, I think it has potential, I have a lot of faith in the Android Platform. It allows for a lot of flexability, and thats the key difference between it and Ngage. The wild cards are it's price and practicality. We'll find out in time.

[pichubro]

I'm currently downloading the new DLC for ACB that came out today. UbiSoft just loves giving out free stuff. hahahaha

[Mario the black knight]

Awesome! Is this the Capernicus one, or yet another one?

[pichubro]

Another one.

A new map for multiplayer, and advanced alliance mode as well. And it's also supposed to fix some glitches like being killed while climbing a wall and the long wait times to start up a game.

[Mario the black knight]

Yeah, I looked it up on PSN, awesome! I love the fact that the DLC is free this time. Very happy about that. I can't wait to play this game.

[pichubro]

I wonder how much DLC they're going to have. I mean, they've released three separate things in the span of two weeks. Not that I mind, but UbiSoft is like in some kind of DLC fever right now. hahaha

Also, gotta love PS3-exclusive DLC.
